Chapter 1: Summoned
Ichigo Kurosaki: substitute soul reaper, and Grimmjow Jeagerjaques: number six espada have found themselves in the company of the saiyans Goku and Vegeta. Ichigo, Grimmjow, Goku, and Vegeta were all brought to together by a force unknown, and they are now discussing their situation.
"What the…who are you two? And why is Grimmjow here?" Ichigo yelled.
"Kurosaki! He said you'd be here!" Grimmjow retorted.
"He? So you heard him too."
"Yes, yes. We all heard him…the question is: WHO'S HIM!" Vegeta demanded, running out of patience.
"Calm down, Vegeta. Yelling won't solve anything," Goku said.
They all stood silent for a moment.
"So did he have something you wanted to make you come here?" Ichigo asked.
"I was given the chance to kill you," Grimmjow replied.
"Great."
"I was promised the challenge of a lifetime," Goku declared enthusiastically.
"Well the voice was right, because now I'm here, and I was promised the chance to fight you, Kakarot," Vegeta forewarned.
"So how'd he convince you, Ichigo," Grimmjow questioned. "What did the voice have that you wanted."
Ichigo looked away for a second, then he spoke. "The voice said that if I didn't come, Rukia Kuchiki would die."
"Oh Please! If someone told me Bulma was going to be killed unless I came, I might purposefully stay away," Vegeta laughed.
"I'm telling her you said that," said Goku.
Welcome my friends, said the same voice that had beckoned them in the first place.
"Who's there?" all four warriors yelled in unison.
Now, now is that any way to treat your host? After all you are trapped here until I free you…now listen carefully: you four are the strongest the world of the living has ever known, and you are about to be tested. Only if you succeed will you return home.
"Where Rukia you-!"
SILENCE! Rukia is safe from harm. She was never here, Ichigo. I just had to find a different way to persuade you. The saiyans and the hollow enjoy fighting, you are different from them.
"You say if we succeed we'll return home. What happens if we fail?" Goku asked.
The only way to fail is to die.
"How do we succeed?" Vegeta asked arrogantly.
Beat me.
